Hi all,

I have been using My Emulators with Mame32 v090u1 and loving it!

My question is if I have a rom, for example cabal.zip, which contains US set 1, US set 2 and a bootleg version. Using the Mame32 frontend I can launch any of these versions, but using MyEmulators in MP I can only launch US set 1.

Is there a command I can add to launch these different versions from the plugin?

Thanks for any help

    Have you tried using the Goodmerge feature, this allows you to specify which file in an archive to launch.
    You need to install 7z and specify the location of 7z.dll under Options -> Advanced -> Goodmerge, then check "Enable Goodmerge" for the appropriate emulator.
    You can specify which version to launch in the game's context menu or in the details view in supported skins.

    Thanks Brownard, I'll give that a shot.

    I'm actually using this as the frontend for my MAME cabinet. As I'm familiar with MP I was able to get a frontend up and running in no time.

    Thanks again for developing this plugin, very useful and easy to use.

    Hi Brownard,
    I didn't have any luck with this. The goodmerge option in the UI only displays the files in the archive.
    I think I might be missing something simple.

    Thanks.
